Assembly instructions
The running boards are mounted to two mounting points on the chainstay. The following instructions guide you through assembling the running boards safely to your bicycle.
Removing the rear wheel may not be necessary for assembling the running boards but could make the installation easier.
Once the running boards are installed, the rear wheel nuts need to be tightened with the Globe offset wrench supplied with this accessory. Keep the offset wrench for future use.
Flip the bike over (optional)
Flipping the bicycle over onto the handlebar and saddle may make assembly of
the running boards easier.
CAUTION: Due to the weight of the Globe bicycle, this process may be easier with the help of another person.
CAUTION: Make sure the HMI display is loosened and rotated on the handlebar to avoid damaging the screen when the bicycle is flipped upside down.
Install the rear accessory support
The accessory support is found in the small parts box that comes with the bicycle and is used when mounting the running boards to the bicycle. It must be loosely assembled to the frame before installation. If it is already installed, it must be loosened before installation.
CAUTION: Make sure the bicycle is powered off on the HMI display.
- Place the bicycle on the kickstand for support. z Slide the M10 x 137 mm bolts (A) with washers (B) through the rear bar (C) from the flat edge side.
- Slide the rear bar spacers over the bolts locating the cutout on the rear bar.
- Slide the accessory support assembly through the holes on the rear of the frame.
- Thread two nuts (F) with washers (E) onto the bolt. z Using the 8 mm short end hex key, lightly tighten (clockwise) the two bolts. Use the 17 mm socket on the Globe offset wrench to stop the nuts from rotating.
Do not tighten the accessory support bolts until the running boards are securely installed.
It is recommended to deflate the rear tire before beginning the running board assembly.
Install the running boards
- Insert an M10 x 65 mm bolt with washer into the front (A) and rear (B) chainstay mounting holes from inside of the frame.
The front mounting bolt can be difficult to insert because of the fender
location. When installing the bolt, flex the fender outward to help the bolt
head clear the fender.
Inserting the front bolt may be easier with the rear wheel removed and/or removing the fender mounting bolt with a 4 mm hex key.
- Loosely thread the front and rear bolts into the corresponding running board mounts. Ensure the indicator pin (C) at the rear of the running board is inserted in the accessory support.
- Gently rocking the running board up and down while you tighten makes this step easier.
- Using the 8 mm short end hex key, tighten (clockwise) the mounting bolts until the tool leaves a clear imprint in the palm of your hand (20 Nm / 177 in-lbf).
- Repeat the steps with the opposite running board.
Torque the accessory support
- Once both the running boards are installed and all four mounting bolts are fully torqued, tighten the accessory support bolts. Using the 8 mm short end hex key, tighten (clockwise) the two bolts until the tool leaves a clear imprint in the palm of your hand (40 Nm / 354 in-lbf). TIP: Use the 17 mm socket on the offset wrench to stop the nuts from rotating.
- If you loosened the rear fender mount, use a 4 mm hex bit and torque wrench to torque the bolt to 4 Nm / 35.5 in-lbf.
- If removed, re-install the rear wheel and re-inflate the tire following the instructions in your Globe User Manual.
Heel clearance
CAUTION: Running boards may reduce heal clearance, specifically when walking alongside the bike or pushing the bike off while seated on the bicycle.
Safety information
WARNING! The Globe running boards are intended for use on Globe Haul LT bicycles only.
WARNING! Before your first ride and regularly thereafter, ensure the running boards are secured to the bicycle.
WARNING: The area where you ride may require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the area where you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself, your passengers, and your bicycle as the law requires.
WARNING: You and your passenger must always wear a cycling helmet that meets the latest certification standards and is appropriate for the type of riding you do. Most serious bicycle injuries involve head injuries that might have been avoided if the rider had worn an appropriate helmet.
WARNING! Riding with passenger on your bicycle affects the handling by altering the center of gravity, weight, and balance. It may also negatively impact your cornering ability, increase your necessary stopping distance, and reduce your ability to slow down and maneuver, especially at higher speeds or down a steep grade. All of this can result in a loss of control, potentially causing serious injury and/or death. You should also become familiar with and practice riding with the passenger in a controlled environment away from traffic.
WARNING! Never exceed the maximum allowed cargo weight for your bicycle/fork or the rack’s maximum allowed cargo weight limit. However, the weight limit of the accessory may be lower. Always adhere to the lower of the weight limits of either the rack or the accessory. See the table for the Globe bicycle racks and fork weight limit guidelines.
